What is SU Change Week?

SU Change Week is a weeklong project to make great stuff happen at Essex. For two days students submitted ideas to the Change Wall, then all of the ideas were opened to online voting for all students to decide which ideas are the most important to them. A selection of ideas from the most voted for section went through to an SU Hackathon - a 24 hour session where groups of students find solutions to problems. Once they'd created their presentations they showed them to a group of University big-wigs.

Students have enough to pay for, wellbeing and support services are considered to be covered by the fees, yet wellbeing services such as using the gym is an extra! I'm sure the £9250 can include use of the gym!
